A network profile refers to network information that must be configured with the camera to enable connection to the Internet via an access point. In general, SSID (Service Set Identifier) is referred to as a network name. When specifying SSIDs for the COOLPIX S51c, configure an individual network profile for each SSID. For more information on configuring network profiles, see “Configuring Wireless LAN Settings from the Camera” (c 126) and “Configuring Wireless LAN Settings from a Computer” (c 136).

The first 16 characters of SSIDs (up to 32 alphanumerical characters) are automatically used for corresponding network profiles.

Network profiles required for home wireless LAN connections can be configured using the camera, or a computer and the supplied my Picturetown Utility. When using the camera, network profiles can be configured from the camera’s setup menu, or after selecting pictures and recipients. Note that connection may not be possible depending on wireless LAN access point settings.

Configuration is possible using the camera’s setup menu. However, the Utility may be more convenient for entering text, such as for e-mail addresses.
